Dan Delkta morphs an Iris/Neversink Caddis; similar to the Teaser (back end's the same), but different enough for it's own thread. Gave this one the Royal treatment; change colors to suit your needs.

abdomen - Uni-stretch chinese red
shuck - Congo Hair brown
rib - gold wire x-small
thread - MFC 8/0 brown
thorax - peacock herl/Ice Dub peacock black

overwing - Congo Hair white (looped)
legs - Sili-legs brown
hackle - Coachman brown
indicator - 1mm foam white
